Job 33:19-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ A person may be disciplined on his bed^(A) with pain
and constant distress in his bones,^(B)
20 so that he detests bread,
and his soul despises his favorite food.^(C)
21 His flesh wastes away to nothing,^[a]
and his unseen bones stick out.
²² He draws near to the Pit,
and his life to the executioners.
²³ If there is an angel^(D) on his side,
one mediator out of a thousand,
to tell a person what is right for him^[b]
24 and to be gracious to him and say,
“Spare him from going down to the Pit;
I have found a ransom,”^(E)
25 then his flesh will be healthier^[c] than in his youth,
and he will return to the days of his youthful vigor.^(F)
